    Would you drink it?

    My friends dad passed away and i was helping him clean out his dads home getting it ready to sell
    And as we were cleaning out the landry room we found a old wooden case of Coke-Cola with 24 full bottles of Coke
    Now this case is like 60 years old from the 50s and well the soda inside the bottles doesn't look very good
    So for fun i'm asking everyone here would you open a bottle and drink a 60 year old bottle of coke

    I would not drink it but I would consider selling it as is.

    Coke collectors would go nuts for it

        Blech! It's probably lost its fizz and become the host of all kinds of bacteria and junk.

        I say NO!

          You gotta at least taste it . . . But selling to a coke collector would probably bring a decent payday

              It'll be mostly nasty syrup by now and taste really bad. I wouldnt try it on a bet either.

                For a billion dollars I'd drink one. Then if I got sick, I could afford the doctor bills.

                  Sounds like the plot of 'Street Trash'

                    What is this, Fear Factor Mego Museum edition??

                    Yuck! I don't think year old soda taste good- I would find a collector to sell it to! Are you sure it's really that old and not a retro-look case that came out sometime more recently?

                        I think I'd google it and see what the possible outcomes are before sampling. Twinkies are good for 1.23 centuries, so Coke might not be far behind...
                        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                        If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                          That Coke is not drinkable anymore...take Jim's advise...sell it to Coke collectors...you'll get some nice extra cash for Christmas.

                          These are only 20 year old Coke bottles with liquid...

                          Just do some research on ebay:

                            Yuck. Don't drink it. Sell it. Think of how much new soda you can buy.

                              I agree that it isn't worth it. At best, it will probably taste like flat, syrupy, goo but also suspect it could potentially be toxic if it was stored in a lot of heat for years. I would also put it up for sale.
